I thought this seemed rather important when I spotted it.

I literally cried a little when I went to go to Imeem and it was gone. =(

What a myspace thing to do.

MySpace? Never heard of it.

you know, kill and buy are not the same things

MySpace buys social media music site, imeem!

MySpace has reportedly bought popular music site, Imeem, for under $1 million.

MySpace chief executive, Owen Van Natta, has posted a written statement:

"Today, MySpace Music has completed a deal to acquire certain assets of imeem - a leading social media music service. MySpace Music and imeem share a common vision and commitment to further enabling the socialization of content across the Web. This deal will allow us to leverage imeem’s industry leading technology and over time, meaningfully integrate their products into the MySpace Music experience. Since its inception in 2003, imeem has built a highly engaged music community of more than 16 million users worldwide. imeem helped pioneer the ad-supported digital music model and created the Web’s first embeddable music and video playlists enabling users to embed songs and playlists virtually anywhere on the Web, including MySpace. In the coming weeks, our team will be working as quickly as possible to take aspects of imeem that users love and migrate them to MySpace Music. We’ll start that transition today by redirecting imeem users to MySpace Music to discover their favorite music. As quickly as possible, we’ll be working to offer users the imeem playlists they’ve created on MySpace Music. We’re also happy to welcome imeem CEO Dalton Caldwell, CTO Bryan Berg, COO Ali Aydar and VP of Sales David Wade to the team as consultants to help manage this transition During this transition period, we invite all imeem users to check out MySpace Music’s extensive catalogue of fully licensed music and video content from major and indie artists, editorial coverage, concerts, and ticket information." - Owen Van Natta

And here we have why Capitalism is for boners.

man i hate myspace... thank god for grooveshark, or i don't know what i'd do with imeem gone

no one even uses myspace anymore i mean come on
mark zuckerberg needs to just buy myspace out and end it once and for all

Apparently Ghetto kids and scenesters keep Myspace alive with their terrible generic gangsta rap and scenecore bands.

And I would actually hate it if Myspace ended, then that'd mean the way I'd check out a lot of cool em0w bands would be gone.

What?!??! NOOOO

no one even uses myspace anymore i mean come on

yeah but does the common consumer still use myspace?
i use youtube to "test the waters"

i used to watch hentai on imeem. this sucks. unless we get a MySpaceHentai which would be cool i guess.

thats not fucking creepy at all

i used to watch hentai on imeem. this sucks. unless we get a MySpaceHentai which would be cool i guess.

hahahahah

good thing grooveshark is my life

Myspace is no longer relevant. Facebook is where its at.

Myspace is still the easiest place to legally check out bands (since last.fm fucked up their site).

I haven't heard of grooveshark, though, so I'll have to look into that.

SkyNet!

Nice Dig... fuck yeah.

Purevolume.

Yeah I use purevolume for the most part. Have never heard of Imeem but yes myspace does suck. I doubt Zuckerberg or whatever his name is would buy them out though he probably doesn't want to get sued or have any government intervention of his business for having a monopoly or anything. It'd be like having Walmart buy out K-Mart or Target or something.

We used Imeem for the "Free Music" features. I'll have to look to see if the player is gone from those. Which reminds me, people that missed those should check them out because most of the links still work.

Someone should write a feature highlighting alternatives to Myspace Music and Last.fm

That's crazy, I had two friends that worked at Imeem, and then met a few more of them. Well, fortunately for my friends they were already gone before this happened, but I don't know about the others.. But it is a shame. Imeem was pretty cool.

I found about this yesterday when I tried to log into my imeem account to listen to some unreleashed stuff and died a little on the inside when I realized this wasn't a joke.

Purevolume is ok, but if you're an artist you very limited on the songs you can upload for free. The Myspace Music search system sucks now since you can only do a generalized search of bands.

Soooo never heard of Imeem... therefore I thought Myspace had somehow killed a person...

-.-

Imeem sounds like a pikmin type computer game

lmao i thought the same as you sellout

wtf is imeem fuck this shit

kill Facebook next so people will stop telling me I need to get one.

OMG YOU DONT HAVE FACEBOOK WTFLOLNOOOBSKKKI

gota have a face

skynet [2]

i used to watch hentai on imeem. this sucks. unless we get a MySpaceHentai which would be cool i guess.
...

haha cool?

Myspace owns... Literally.

why post anything about myspace?

why make that post?
